Review: Fantastic tale that has everything you could want in a travel journal - The best books in my opinion are those that touch upon so many different subjects but bring them all together cohesively. This book does just that. Theology, philosophy, politics, culture, geography, friendship... you won't be dissapointed. Muhammad Asad wrote in a beautiful and poignant manner, detailing his adventures in the near East in a way that makes you feel like you lived them yourself. It is one man's journey of self discovery, and everybody stands to benefit from his critical outlook. Once you get into it, it's very difficult to put it down, and when it ends you'll find yourself wishing that it didn't. Review: Grippingly Interesting! - This is a book about travel and the journey of one man through the geographical roads of the material earth, as well as the intellectual and spiritual odyssey he makes through the hills and plains of his own soul. Both journeys culminate in one place: Mecca - where he stays for some years having found the spiritual and intellectual contentment there which had eluded him in Europe. An interesting and inspiring way to learn more about Islam, in a way especially accessible to Westeners, as the author IS a Westerner who chose to accept the faith of Islam, and is thus able to articulate his faith's ideals in language understadable by his native Europeans. Also, this book is an alternative to normal introductory texts on Islam, as the basic precepts of the faith are clothed in the narrative discourse of the author's life himself. A good read, even if only as a book on travel and culture - highly recommended! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 616,398 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 123 in Religious Biographies 325 in Islamic Religion | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 374 Reviews | ## Images ![The Road to Mecca - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61xP--zaXuL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic tale that has everything you could want in a travel journal *by M***H on 23 March 2021* The best books in my opinion are those that touch upon so many different subjects but bring them all together cohesively.
